Online Dating Safety Tips

Your safety is our priority. Here are guidelines to help you stay safe while meeting new people online and in person.

Protecting Your Personal Information
  • Never share your home address, workplace address, or financial information with someone you have not met in person.
  • Use the messaging system within Tandem Amore rather than giving out your personal phone number or email early on.
  • Be cautious about sharing information that could be used to locate you (school names, daily routines, check-in locations).
Meeting in Person
  • Always meet in a public place for the first several dates.
  • Tell a friend or family member where you are going and who you are meeting.
  • Arrange your own transportation — do not rely on your date to pick you up or take you home.
  • Stay sober and alert. Limit alcohol consumption on early dates.
  • Trust your instincts. If something feels off, leave.
Recognizing Red Flags
  • Requests for money or financial assistance of any kind
  • Refusal to video chat or meet in person after extended messaging
  • Pressuring you to move communication off the platform immediately
  • Inconsistent stories or details that do not add up
  • Aggressive, controlling, or manipulative behavior
Reporting Concerns

If you encounter suspicious behavior or feel unsafe, please report the profile immediately using the report feature on their profile, or contact our support team directly. We take every report seriously and will investigate promptly.
